Ultimate girl power anthem: ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ or ‘Express Yourself’?

#TeamCyndiLauper

For the past several decades—female artists have declared their independence, dismantled double standards and empowered women with their music. Enter the "Girl Power Anthem." What better way to celebrate Women's History Month than to honor the women in music who influenced feminist movements, and ultimately pick the greatest girl power anthem of all time.

Cyndi's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is pretty self-explanatory. Girls are always told how to act, and Lauper clapped back, arguing women should have the freedom to express themselves and have some fun too!

Below are some notable lyrics "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," per Genius.

🎶I come home in the morning light. My mother says when you gonna live your life right. Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones. And girls they want to have fun. Oh girls just want to have fun. The phone rings in the middle of the night. My father yells what you gonna do with your life. Oh daddy dear you know you're still number one. But girls they want to have fun. Oh girls just want to have.🎶
